Diplomat, you have the Celestial Blue Aurora Talentum, I am so jealous!

What is the last pen on the right in that nice green material?

 

Yes, it's a nice color isn't? And a wanderful nib too...

The last one is a Marlen 21 Marbled green. A small but heavy pen. Button filler.

 

You have a nice selection too! I especially like the Deltas and the grey Omas. It's a Milord? ACS system?

 

Thanks and ciao.

 

Andre

That is an Omas Pragon Milord old-style in gray with HT trim, piston fill, with a .55mm italic nib by Mottishaw.

Here is my review of it:

I had never wanted a Marlen before, but that green pen is beautiful!

Wow, sbroglia... those Etiopia looks like new!

Interesting the Internazionale: it shows where the Optima cap band come from.

 

Just one question about the Snowhite: how come the movie is from the 1938 and the pens are from the 20s? The dwarf shape looks exactley like the one in the movie!

 

Thanks for sharing these.

Snowhite model appears on Aurora catalogs on 1939, I'm sure Mr Sbroglia meant late 1930 :thumbup:

Do you have vintage AURORA or WILLIAMSON,

italian WWII militaria for sale or trade? Please contact me.

 

Looking for 1950'S AURORA 88?

Other vintage italian pens?

correct...in the rush I posted the wrong date ...they are from 1937ca and 1939ca

The Internazionale is a stunning pen and it was the challenging pen to the Waterman Patrician

(I didn't want to be cruel...just wanted to share those beuty to show what terrific pens were manufactured during that golden age..)

This thread is too dangerous for me: I feel my heart is breaking; Mr Sbroglia you are killing me...

Ok, it's clear now. As for being cruel: go on, I'm a masochistic pen addicted.

 

Ciao e grazie,

ahahaha...I just would like to share the love for those masterpiece...

in my modest opinion Aurora have in its background the largest quantities of patents, models, history and a marketing strategy still today inpressive...

and only few people know this

it's a treasure not yet discovered :rolleyes:

sbroglia, you do have an enviable collection of vintage Italian pens, no question. I think I like the Snow White ones best -- they were so unexpected!

+1 on both of those statements. Now that I've seen the Snow White pens, I think I may have a new one to add to my list. I want one of those with a dwarf on the clip. Those are cool!

SBroglia, thank you for these beautiful and interesting pictures and congratulations on such a collection. It's the Doria Pamphilj of fountain pens.

 

You have to get in touch with someone like Andreas Lambrou and have these pens feature in a collectors book. Please.

thank you so much for appreciating those!

I see many interest on the Snowhite, but the Mickey Mouse is , in my opinion, stunning in the same way.

You need to know that Isaia Levi (Aurora's founder) was a good friend of Walt Disney, that's why in the late '30 an italian pen maker manufactured those !

And the most striking: those were students pen!!!
